Why does iMessage open when I"m chatting in google?

Why does the login to iMessage window open up when I'm chatting through gmail?

Hi,
By default the first thing the Messages app asks you to do is enter an Apple ID to use for the iMessages account.
You can ignore this and use the set up to add other accounts (or use the System Preferences > Internet Accounts to enable them).
If it is not already, I would go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and in the iMessages account untick the box for "Enable this Account" even if it does not have an Apple ID.

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

    Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

    What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

  • Why does subVI open when a VI is run without highlighting execution

    When running the VI Proc Recipe Array without highlighting execution the subVI VPTS Proc Cmnd gets a green arrow over its icon and opens. I want to run the main VI without opening any of the subs. Why does that subVI open? All sub are in the attached LIB file and the test file needed is also attached. You should place the input file in the C:\VPTS\Recipe folder.

    This is because the SubVI VPTS Proc Cmnd has an option "Suspend when called".
    To cancel this
    1.open the subVI,
    2.click with the right mouse button on the subVI icon in the up-right corner of the window,
    3.select "VI properties...",
    4.choose category - Execution
    5.and uncheck the option "Suspend when called".
    Good luck.

  • Why does iPhoto open when I connect my iPhone and iPad to my iMac?

    Whenever I connect my iPhone or iPad to my iMac, iPhoto opens. This started within the last week or two. Any suggestions? Are there some Preferences I can change to stop this? Thank you.

    Take a look at this article and note the section about disabling iPhoto for certain devices. Maybe that will help.

    I trust that you have totally quit iPhoto and rebooted your Mac?

  • Why does Mail open when it is not my default email client?

    I prefer Thunderbird as my mail client and it is set to be my default.  However, if I click to send a picture by email, not only does it open up in the TB mail message, OSX Mail also opens along with an empty draft mail message.  How do I stop this?  I have turned off Mail. 

    Thanks, John.  That is how I already set TB as my default client.  I thought I had solved the issue of OSX Mail opening in tandem, but in fact it still does it.  Very odd.

  • Why does Chrome open when I switch my Mac on?

    Hi everyone I am a newbie Mac owner and loving it. I have Google Chrome installed on my Mac and have noticed recently that whenever I turn my Mac on Chrome automatically opens up. It never used to do that when I first installed it. I have made no changes in preferences and can't find anything in preferences to prevent this from happening. Does any one have any solutions please?

    Check the second box.
    Shutdown the computer. When this dialog appears uncheck the box.
    Open Users & Groups preferences in System Preferences. Click on the Login Items tab. Be sure Chrome is not in the list. If it is then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

  • Why does iMessage bounce when I don't have a new message?

    I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2012, 13inch non retina), and for some reason my iMessage dock icon repeatedly bounces even when I do not have a new message.
    Thoughts?

    The Alerts icon is confusing. You have to click on the little up and down arrows next to the "Event" box - it wasn't obvious to me that there are a jillion separate events you have to tediously click and set separately. It was the less obvious events that were causing the iMessage icon in the Mac dock to bounce up and down. Like when someone came online or left online.
    Also if you actually get a REAL message, the icon should display a number on it.

  • Why does Yahoo open when I pick a category in Firefox?

    Say I type "Macys" in the search box. What comes up is Yahoo that gives all the listings for "Macys".
    This happens for any category I place in the search box.
    This hasn't happened before. What's up?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

  • Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
    to Rick:
    I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
    - Working Space: None
    - Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
    But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
    to both of you:
    Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
    What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
    So, would you have any solution for this problem?
    Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

  • ITunes does not open when ipod connected

    Since installing the 1.1 update, iTunes does not open when I connect my nano to the computer. Both computer and iTunes (when I manually open it) recognize the nano, so no big deal. Just wondering how to make iTunes automatically open.

    Sometimes the Preferences get corrupt - if you set them off and then back on that sometimes clears the problem.

  • Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time

    Why does FireFox open as a very small box in the top l/h corner and i have to resize it every time this only occurs on the initial opening up of F/Fx after boot-up

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.
